Relationship among reflectance-difference spectroscopy, surface photoabsorption, and spectroellipsometry

Abstract
From the reflectance expressions for a thin biaxial layer on an isotropic substrate we relate reflectance-difference spectroscopy (RDS), surface photoabsorption (SPA), and spectroellipsometry. Using these results and our recently acquired RD database, we determine surface reconstructions present during flow-modulated organometallic chemical vapor growth of epitaxial GaAs from SPA data that were published by others.
